Workshops · companies, schools, private groups
A room full of people, all of them making.
Dhairya runs hands-on art workshops, predominantly in four mediums: 3D clay, watercolour, acrylic and sketching. No prior experience is required, all materials are provided, and every participant leaves with a finished piece.
There is no faster way to bring a room together than making things side by side. The workshops exist for exactly that: colour on everyone’s hands, conversation across the tables, and a shelf of finished pieces by the end.
What he teaches
Predominantly four mediums. One rule: everyone finishes.
A session is built around one medium and one piece. These four carry most of the sessions, with foam clay, resin and fluid art also available. The host picks the medium, or lets the group and the occasion decide it.
01The signature session
3D clay and sculpting
Air-dry and foam clay, built from a simple ball into a finished sculpture. The most forgiving medium for beginners and the strongest choice for large groups. Run for Palo Alto Networks on International Women's Day.
What everyone makes: A small sculpture, dried and ready to keep
02The travel medium
Watercolour
Water control, layering and composition on paper. This is the medium Dhairya paints on location while travelling, and the session teaches it the way he uses it: observe closely, work quickly, stop early.
What everyone makes: One small landscape or study on paper
03The studio medium
Acrylic
Bold, fast-drying and forgiving, on canvas or paper. Colour mixing, brush handling and palette-knife texture, using the same tools as his studio work.
What everyone makes: A finished colour piece on canvas or paper
04The first medium
Sketching
Line, proportion and light with the simplest tools, where his own practice began. The easiest session to host: no mess, no drying time, nothing to ship.
What everyone makes: A finished sketch, and a way of seeing to take home
The agenda
How a session actually runs.
Sessions run from ninety minutes to a half day, sized to the group and the medium. The structure holds everywhere, from a company offsite to a classroom: a short demonstration, a warm-up, then the main piece with guidance at every table.
The making happens in the room, not on a screen at the front.
01
The setup
All materials are brought to the venue. Tables are covered and every participant gets a complete station. The host provides the room and the people.
02
The opening
A short live demonstration of the finished piece and the core techniques of the session.
03
The warm-up
A quick first exercise that gets everyone comfortable with the medium before the main piece begins.
04
The make
The main piece, built step by step as a group, with individual guidance at every table.
05
The finish
Every piece is sealed, dried and fixed so it travels home safely.
06
The share
The group reviews the work together, and every participant takes their finished piece home.
